    CPL gets no love here ?

    i've been enjoying the hell out of the CPL, being in the same time zone helps a bit though. Definitely has been some amazing cricket, regardless of what CW as a whole may think of T20.

    Fielding Statistics: A New Approach

    Here's one of the Baseball defense stats that's gotten a lot of attention recently DRS | FanGraphs Sabermetrics Library and this one sounds a lot like what you are attempting to do Baseball Prospectus | Glossary Both links explain the theory behind the stat, and the fangraphs one has even more...

    Fielding Statistics: A New Approach

    Remember in baseball, all advanced fielding stats are compiled after the game by rewatching video.

    ***Official**** Sri Lanka in New Zealand 2014/2015

    I'm a bowler (the kind where you knock down pins, not Wickets) and I agree with your last point. Anyone can fry out mentally, and when that happens your physical game goes down the tubes. On the other hand, when everything is going well and you're relaxed everything is muscle memory and making...

    Welcome to Cricket Web - Cricket Chat

    :P I've only been following the sport for a little over a year now, so I came in with a clean slate as far as feelings towards a certain format go. Each format has it's merits, not unlike all the different forms of auto racing.

    Welcome to Cricket Web - Cricket Chat

    Welcome! As you can tell by my post count vs my registration date I'm more of a lurker than a poster lol. But I will throw my hat into the Test vs ODI vs T20 ring and say that I enjoy all 3 formats.

    ***Official**** Sri Lanka in New Zealand 2014/2015

    Sorry, used to more people familiar with baseball TOOTBLAN = Thrown Out On The Bases Like A Nimcompoop. If you prefer cricket terms it would be Run Out Between The Wickets Like A Nincompoop. It's not a real baseball stat, but provides a great name for when someone is put out for doing some...

    ***Official**** Sri Lanka in New Zealand 2014/2015

    To borrow a baseball term, NZ had quite a few TOOTBLANs that innings. (I suppose we could cricketify it to ROBTWLAN, but that doesn't roll off the tongue as well)

    ***Official*** India in South Africa 2013/14

    I'm torn on the outcome. On one hand I'm happy they didn't lose, on the other it was torturous to have them come within 8 runs of the win. However, I understand the decision to shut it down as a former poker player. Sometimes betting everything on the chance that the last card will win the hand...
